I offered 30 fandoms this year. Apparently I'm feeling more reckless than last year.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

Jilli, I really enjoyed that.
Deena, I'd beta for you. I'd beta for any of you guys. I say, with the confidence that I'll be around for the Christmas hols. (I'm not going home.)
The most challenging thing I find with Yuletide every year is to pick the requests. There's just so much choice! For about three years, I did the same three fandom requests in a row--The Dark is Rising, Narnia, and something else I can't cross-check because the archive is closed, and a wild card. This year, all I know is that I want a Hollycrack story. I don't know what else to pick!
Usually I offer at least a few dozen fandoms to write, mostly because I can stretch myself pretty far, but that's not an approach that works for a lot of people. I think it's probably more sensible to be very limited about what you are willing to write, because that's something you *do* have control over.
I signed up for the due South fic exchange, and I will sign up for the popslash one, because although it's becoming smaller every year, I just love it too much to let it go. But I let Secret Slasha go last year, and this year I think I'm not going to do JBBS either. Unless another one catches my eye, I'm going to stay pretty minimal this year.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I offered up 18 fandoms to write in this year, and for half, I strictly limited which characters I would write for.
For requests, I listed two books, one comic, and one manga/anime. It was tough trying to whittle things down, and I have a feeling that my character requests for one of them will pretty much mean that I won't be getting that story.

I offered 9.
But one of them was entirely on crack. I could do it, and it would be fun, but I'm mostly shocked that it even made the list. So.

A lot of them are books. Several others are musicals.

I think I listed 27, but I might scale that back to 20 before the deadline is over.

I kind of want to sign up for the Sports Night holiday exchange, but I can't decide if I'll really regret it come December.

How much longer do I have to dither about signing up for Yuletide?

Till Sunday, I think.
